Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Yvette Cooper and Joshua Reynolds

Monday 2nd June 2025 Commons Chamber

[Mr Joshua Reynolds (Maidenhead) (LD)]

In North Ascot, neighbourhood police have been out on the streets trying to clamp down on pavement parking, which forces disabled and vulnerable people on to the roads and into dangerous situations. Will the Home Secretary outline what more could be done to help neighbourhood police when it comes to pavement parking?

[Yvette Cooper]

The hon. Member will know that neighbourhood police understand the challenges in each area, whether it be in North Ascot or other parts of the country, and local police can target those issues and work with local councils. There are different rules for different councils, so combined work between the council and the police is the best way to tackle local crime.
